Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Voluntime at 4.7 against Hour's 3.0. Voluntime also leads on ratings volume (851 vs 150) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.3). Hour's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Voluntime holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Voluntime has 851 ratings behind it against 150, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Voluntime's written reviews are positive against 52% of Hour's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Voluntime ships an update every 5 months, Hour every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
